    I agree, very yummy. My OH has just turned 34 and getting a bit old for it all (apparently) so has just started coaching again.

    Looking forward to the world cup to.... lots of yummy men (we'll be watching most matches at the club i'm guessing) still season starts on 8th Sept, so not long now!

    Afternoon all.

    Well I finally decided I NEEDED to buy hair wax... fluffy is not a good look for me. So I stood there in boot and ummed and arrred about which one to buy. Eventually settled on a £1.99 boots own. Got to the till and have over £3.50 on my boots card. So I have free hair wax!! :D

    Which strangly enough has made me feel a bit better. :confused: And I wont have fluffy hair tomorrow :T

    Resisited buying a CD and some books, so something must be sinking in, very slowly. Although I have eaten the bag of cherries my mum bought me :eek: I suddenly turned round and there weren't any left!!! I'm sure someone else must have eaten them, I can't have done it on my own :o:p

    So it's a good day, had something sell on Amazon and I have a few bits to post later. So all good.

    Do fancy a bit of a food binge, but I am going to try and stop myself as I don't really need one, I just think I do. So on principle I'm going to work through it and not give in. There you go I have will power!!! I do, I do!!!

    I'm feeling very ill today and so I've not eaten yet...poorly belly. Anyway, I'm debating what to have for lunch....really can't decide but I'm wanting proper food and something a bit filling.

    Hmmm....what to have?

    Well done on resisting though. And the free hair wax. I save my boots points for Christmas and get all the girly presents out of their, but I try and get them in the January sales, ready for the following christmas....cheap? Me? Never? ha ha

    I've done that, although I didn't have the money this year. I'm saving my piggyclicks for either a boots or Amazon voucher. Christmas pressies can come from that. Although I am almost on to knitting bobble hats, so people can have them to. Maybe hat or scarf + normally cheap present.

    Hmmmm so much to think about, but it's only August so I'm not to worries. I've been putting money away so should have a nice little amount, by christmas.

    Hi Lucy....

    Naughty cherries.... they make you eat them hey? We have a fruit & veg stall outside our office so I often buy a small bag. They are delicious.

    They are lovely.

    I stayed the same last night, which was a little disappointing. But there is always next week.

    Just need to stick at it for a little while longer.

    Morning all.

    I've had another 2 sales on Amazon, not bring in much, but every little is helping. Still not sure what my final Lloyds OD figures is going to be, but I am guess somewhere around £300 before savings so about £222 after. Not what I wanted, but I can cope with that.

    Will just have to work hard at paying it off before christmas. I'm not going to update my sig until I know the figures for sure. But I am going to try and be good over the weekend. I have some things to post for Amazon, but other than they I am going to try and have a cheap weekend if possible.

    I'm trying to stay positive, but it is a little overwhelming sometimes, but there is nothing I can do about it, so will just continue battling with it. But I am hoping that I stick to my budget next month as in theory I will still have spare left at the end of the month aside from my payrise money, which means I will be able to pay more off my OD. I guess I just have to make sure that I stick to it and have that money available. Need to be strict with myself and stop putting the odd thing here and there on my debit card.

    Anyway the plan is in action so there is no use worrying about it, just need to get on and carry it out. Roll on pay day when I can sort everything out and start sticking to the budget.

    have fun x

    I've changed my mind and updated my sig to include the guessimated level of OD after I have paid the savings off it. Not happy reading, but I've also included the total onto my christmas challenge as an extra incentive to pay it off!!

    Wish me luck x

    Just thought I would pop a quick update on. I'm trying to limit my posting today as I have loads of work to do. I'm still checking the site regularly.

    But it seems to be working as I have steamed through things this morning! :T Which means I am having a good day. Just hope that it carries on and I can get loads of house work done tonight. Mum is away and OH busy tomorrow day, so I have it to myself!!! I'll need to take a couple of Amazon parcels to the post office, but other than that I am free all day. And I don't want to be inside cleaning.

    I might just take the day off and sit in the garden with a book and enjoy the sunshine.

    Right back to work, will update again later x

    Sounds like a good weekend plan to me! I'd love it.

    However, I think I'll spend my weekend, erm, cleaning. Gutted.
